Disneyland Fireworks: Nighttime Spectacular

Bursting high above the sky of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, fireworks light up the sky. Throughout the year, special shows are offered, but every night is magical. It is very important to get a spot early for good viewing, I personally suggest being to the right of the castle or near the Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue. Although you can watch the fireworks from a further distant, being near the castle gives you the full effect as the show is synced to wonderful classic Disney tunes.

During the current season, the “Remember… Dreams Come True” fireworks spectacular is shown once a night. Rekindle your fondest memories with this breathtaking fireworks show that touches the heart and inspires the imagination.

Disneyland Park has offered a fireworks show every summer since 1956. At first, fireworks fuses were lit by hand, but by the 1960s an electronic system launched the shells, the shows carefully synchronized to music. By 2000, the fireworks had become far more elaborate, with Tinker Bell and Dumbo flying overhead. To reduce noise and pollution, Disney patented an air launch pyrotechnics system, which was put to use in 2004. Disney later opened the patent on the system so that others could enjoy the benefits of "greener" pyrotechnics.

Here is the firework times for every night: entertainment schedule

Ride Profile: Indiana Jones

One of the most exciting rides at Disneyland is based from the popular movies Indiana Jones! Opening in 1995, after being under construction for 7 years and costing Disney about $100 million! The ride can be found between Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Carrabin. Since it is a crowd pleaser, the line can get very long, so I highly recommend getting FASTPASS and coming back to the ride later in the afternoon when you can avoid the line. Single rider passes and parent swap passes are also available, just ask the Cast Member at the front. The ride “takes place” in the Forbidden Temple where famous archeologist, Indiana jones, helps guide your’ ride, making sure you make it to the end. Visitors MUST NOT look into the eyes of the temple's idol, Mara, or an ancient curse will befall them. The ride moves through foreboding caverns adorned with flickering lights, mysterious wall etchings, ominous spikes, even-more ominous skeletons, and other diversions! On th

Jedi Training Academy

Welcome young Padawans! This live-action show, behind Buzz’s AstroBlaster across from Autopia, children from the audience can experience becoming a Jedi. Complete with brown robes and light sabers, trainees learn the sacred Jedi Oath and ancient battle techniques from a Jedi Master! The show would not be complete with having to fight off a force of Stormtroopers led by Darth Vadar (or Darth Maul). Can your skills fight them off? May the force be with you! Children between 4 to 12 will be the best targets to be chosen for participation. If you have a little Star Wars fan with you, definitely check out the entertainment schedule when you enter the park. Every time I see this show happening, the kids look like they are having a blast!

Ride Profile: Soarin Over the World

As summer led to long lines and hot days at the park, it took me longer than expected to gt onto the update of the beloved ride, Soarin Over California in California Adventure, which is now Soarin Over the World. As the new name states, riders no longer glide over the Golden State, but take an adventure around the world! Soarin has always been one of my favorite rides, as it provides air conditioning and a relaxing adventure, so I kneew I would at least get that from the ride. The places chosen are somewhat expected, like the Eiffel Tower and Great Wall of China, but it nice that the video quality is much higher than the original ride. There is a fast pass available which can be well worth getting, as lines can be long with riders wanting to try out the new ride. Overall, it is nice to see Disney finally update this ride, but part of me wishes they had updated the scenes with California areas, as the ride is in California Adventure! Check it out for yourself a
